Okaay...

I forgot the episode... I'll summarize it as well as i can....


Edward and Alphonse go to a town and meet the girl that dresses like a guy. They meet the man that lost the love of his life and keeps transering soulds into maniquin things. The woman comes back and is now "ugly"(In his eyes anyway). Yes.. that episode... haha i forgot alot of it but yeah...

Okay... I never got this. The girl that dresses like a boy. She said all those things about her sister... In the flashback she looked the same age... in the episode it they said it was quite a long time ago... this means the girl was either a todler that looked like she was 13 or so years old(in the flashback) OR everything is just fugged up... i dunno... someone explain it to me... i'm going to watch that episode again..............

I was really confused by this episode (ep. 4, I believe) the first time I watched it through, also. Upon my second watching, I realized that the girl who dressed like a boy's sister died recently. Magwar's love 'died' a long time ago, and hence is now older and 'ugly'.

Does that help?

I don't think it will be a spoiler to unveil the plot of Episode 4 since we are now into episode 21 and beyond...

Time reference now = time during episode 4.

Young Maijharu loved young Kalin 20 years ago. However he thought that she fell down the mountainside and died. She did not die but had amnesia and went to live somewhere else.

Majiharu wanted Kalin so he started to make manequins in the appearance of Kalin. To animate them however, he infused the souls of the young girls in the village. This is not a perfect process and he tends to destroy the mannequins and start all over again. The kidnappings of young girls by Majiharu, along with the appearance of the mannequins with their souls longing for their original lives, led to the Kalin soultaker legend.

Closet's sister was one of the victims. She was taken by Majiharu half year ago. And since she was infused into the mannequin, she went back to watch her family at her grave. But her family only see the mannequin Kalin.

Edward & Alphonse arrived on the scene to solve the mystery and reveal that Kalin was alive and had came back after 20 years to Majiharu but he could not recognise the old Kalin, being too obsessed with the young pretty visage.
